It's very important to point out that I DID NOT LOSE ANY OF MY DOGS in this raid. I've worked hard to build a good reputation and I was able to get some influential people to intervene so that my dogs were not seized. I was also very lucky that day that people were able to drop what they were doing to help me. By grace of God I did not lose my dogs, nor was I charged with any offenses.
I have come to believe that most local animal control officers are members of PETA and HSUS. I also believe breeder raids are often carried out as fund raisers for local SPCAs and shelters. I believe more respectable breeders are raided than we know because they're likely too horrified, traumatized and injured to speak about it afterwards; they simply give up and disappear.
I don't trust anyone in the government to judge me.
Anyone out there needing advice on what to do in a raid, call me. |
